327 after the war
First, Wang Shipeng scored a strong attack, and then Spanoris responded to the shooting. Wang Zhizhi's fantasy steps were flying under the basket. Gilliandakis made a layup. Then Ford Sis took a shot and caused Zhu Fangyu to make a foul and make both free throws, so Greece still leads China by 10 points.
Later, Yi Jianlian made a foul and made one of two free throws. Gillian Dakis made a dunk, Wang Shipeng made another mid-range shot, and China began to strive to catch up. Immediately after Wang Shipeng made another three-pointer, the Chinese team chased the score to single digits again.
But the Greek team is much stronger than the Chinese team without Yao Ming and Chamberlain. Their outside line also began to show off. Span Norris made a goal in the bottom corner. Shortly afterwards, Diamantidis made a three-pointer from the outside. After Ford Sis scored a layup, they scored a B0 climax and opened the score again.
In the last quarter, Sun Yue made a mid-range shot as soon as he came up, and Yi Jianlian scored another three-pointer. Wang Zhizhi made two consecutive three-pointers, and the Chinese men's basketball team played a momentum and launched an attack with the Greek team. The latter took the opportunity to attack the inside line of the Chinese team, which lacked the main force, and firmly controlled the score advantage.
After Wang Shipeng missed the shot, Wang Zhizhi grabbed the rebound and made a second offense, and the Chinese team was still 2 points behind Greece. UAE made a mid-range shot, and soon afterwards he used a layup to make a foul and made both free throws. Vasilopoulos made a long shot, Spanoris made one of two free throws, and Greece still led by 14 points. In the last minute, Sun Yue caused an opponent to foul outside the three-point line. After three free throws, Papalucas used his teammate's long pass to score a layup. The game entered the countdown. In the end, the Chinese men's basketball team still failed to catch up with the score and lost to Greece at 84.
Greece played against the Chinese team, and after the game, it caused a storm in the sports world.
Before, European basketball has never looked down on the Chinese men's basketball team. Even though the latter defeated Spain and the two strong teams of the German men's basketball team, the stubborn Europeans still firmly believe that the Chinese men's basketball team is just lucky and has no way to compare with the strong teams in Europe.
But after this game, European basketball experts shut their mouths.
There is one advantage for Europeans, that is, despite their stubbornness, they are all open and upright. No matter whether the team loses or wins the Chinese team, as long as it is a game openly, they will support their team. They will turn a blind eye to the Chinese men's basketball team's best play.
But this time it was different. The Chinese men's basketball team may not play well in the first half, but from the second half of the second quarter and the first half of the third quarter, they played the world's top offensive and defensive battle, catching up from behind 2 to single digits, and the Chinese team showed strong resilience.
This is enough to be admired. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that if the game continues normally, the Dragon Team led by Chamberlain will definitely be able to fight against the Greek team in the third quarter. In this game, the latter's chance of winning is slim.
But the Greek team won in the end, but the winning made European fans feel ashamed to see people: the little shark's elbow smashed the most proud chivalrous spirit of Europeans, especially the Greek men's basketball team, which was even more shameless to see people.
At the end of the game, the fans in Wukesong Arena stood up, including European fans who originally cheered for the Greek team. They stood up together and gave applause to the Chinese men's basketball team. At the same time, they all confronted the Greek team: "If you can't afford to lose, get out, if you can't afford to lose, don't play."
The Greek men's basketball team had no joy in winning, and the scene where the little shark knocked Chamberlain unconscious became a shame that they could not wash away.
Nelson, a little man, left the court with a blue face. He refused to shake hands with Yangnasky. When the latter came up, he said toughly: "No matter who your opponent is in the next round, I hope you will win. If we can meet again, I will definitely make you regret it."
The players of the Chinese men's basketball team also refused to hug their opponents. They silently packed up their own things. Papalucas sighed and wanted to take a photo with them. Li Nan calmly but firmly refused: "I don't think this is appropriate. You can think we can't afford to lose, but I still want to say that we Chinese are willing to bow to our opponents who will beat us openly, but we will never live with people like you who win by playing tricks."
Span Norris walked up to Chamberlain and said apologetically: "Yao, I hope you can help me convey our apology to your teammates. My teammate didn't mean to hurt him. That guy sometimes likes to be passionate."
Yao Ming barely smiled on his face, but did not respond directly to Spanoris, but just said lightly: "I hope you have good luck."
Today's game is Yao Ming's most frustrating game since the start of the Olympics. Not only did Chamberlain leave early due to injury, but more importantly, Nelson Jr. actually replaced Chamberlain with a firm decision after he left the court. What does this mean? Could it be that the Chinese team has no Chamberlain and there is no hope of fighting against the Greek team?
After saying goodbye to Span Norris, Yao Ming looked unhappy. He did not stop in the mixed interview area as he did in the past, but instead walked back to the locker room with his head down. Faced with the reporters' interview request, Yao Ming just said "sorry" and hurriedly entered the player's exit passage.
Back in the locker room, Chamberlain lay on the water bed, and Winnie was giving him a massage on the back of her neck. When Yao Ming and others came back, they hurriedly asked him how he was. Chamberlain shook his head and smiled: "It's okay, I was a little dizzy at the time, but now I have nothing to do. I will definitely not delay the subsequent game."
Sun Yue sighed and said, "Oh, we could have taken the second place in Group B with a steady pace, but Asia has never been so far."
Wang Zhizhi interrupted Sun Yue with a face and shouted: "Stop talking, the game is over, complaints and regrets are useless. Let's prepare for the subsequent game."
In this way, the Spanish team, Greece, and Chinese teams both lose and win two. In addition, the order of winning of the three teams is that the Spanish team beat Greece, Greece beats China, and the Chinese team beats Spain again, so the net victory points need to be calculated.
No one wants to be the fourth, because this means that they not only have to face Lithuania, the first in Group A, but also meet the powerful Dream Team before the finals.
The goal of Meng Ba Team is the championship, which everyone knows. Now all teams are competing for silver medals. If you meet Meng Ba Team before the final victory in advance, then you will definitely be eliminated if you win a silver medal.
In fact, according to the rules of the PIBAR competition, even if the Chinese men's basketball team loses to their opponents in the quarter-finals, they will still lock in the seventh place in the Olympics, which will be the best result of the Chinese men's basketball team in the Olympics and World Championships.
The smell of gunpowder in his words was very strong, and as long as he was not deaf, he could hear it. The expressions on his master and apprentice Spanoris and Yangnasky's master and apprentice were not good-looking.
A European journalist was filled with anger and said, "Sir, I have studied your country's culture. There is a saying in your culture, "Repay evil with kindness. If you do this, it is contrary to the teachings of your country's culture, right?"
After asking this question, the reporter sat back in his seat with pride. He felt that his question would definitely make Chamberlain angry.
